## Summary

The Met Office has completed a procurement process for "Software Support and Maintenance," categorised under IT services, with a total contract value of £153,000. The procurement method used was a direct single tender action, which reflects that it was below the threshold for more competitive bidding. This contract period commenced on 6th March 2020 and is set to conclude on 28th February 2023. The service will be delivered in the South West region of the United Kingdom, with the tendering period officially closing on 5th March 2020.

This opportunity offers substantial potential for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in IT services, software development, and technical support.

The previous successful supplier, Snowflake Software Ltd, underscores the need for skilled providers in these specific services, highlighting the competitive landscape for this niche within public procurement.
